The Princeton Art Museum has remembered Yayoi Kusama, announcing that the Japanese artist died earlier this month in Japan. The museum’s remembrance directs audiences to ‘Large White Net,’ a work from its collection dated 1958.
The post, published on August 28, 2026, identifies the painting as ‘Large White Net’ and provides access to its collection record. It does not announce a new exhibition, public programme or memorial event, and no event dates are listed.
‘Large White Net’ entered the museum’s holdings as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Tepper. The collection information identifies the work’s date as 1958 and credits it to Kusama Yayoi. The museum’s notice also includes the copyright line ‘© 1958, Kusama Yayoi.’
The work’s inclusion in the remembrance gives the museum’s collection a central role in its response to Kusama’s death. Rather than presenting a wider survey of her career, the notice focuses on a single object and invites viewers to explore it through the museum’s online collection.
The available announcement supplies no further details about Kusama’s age, the circumstances of her death or plans for additional commemorations. It also does not indicate that ‘Large White Net’ is currently on physical display. The work remains documented in the Princeton Art Museum’s online collection as a 1958 gift of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Tepper.
